Temporary measure and bringing back the regulation is not a reliable solution. So many job lost as now illegal BDC closes, we are not yet out of the wood, personally I want Tinubu to succeed but he isn’t tackling the problem head on production is not really increasing

Your concern should be dollar is falling, naira is rising yet prices aren't coming down.

We don't need any useless update about naira rising we want to see price of goods coming down

Far too early to celebrate yeyebrity.

The Government is taking reasonable measures of deterrent but long term solution is to discourage junk imports and stop liberal market no country in the world practices.

Dollar is like a yoyo big mouse eating your toes and blowing it for comfort at the same time.

When did we even get used to one dollar to 500 not to mention one thousand.

Bola Tinubu met the dollar at 400 official rate and 600 at parallel market rate. Until it drops below what he met it, we have nothing to celebrate.

Again, nobody forced Tinubu to take that job! He lost sleep, spent a lot of money and travelled round to country to convince Nigerians that he was capable of doing the job! He should do it and stop seeking validation!

Local Production is key but it can't happen overnight. It's gradual process.

Call me naive but i ain't moved by the so called crashing of the dollar. As a neutral person in politics who want our leaders to succeed irrespective of their party affiliation and make the people smile, it is only when the prices of goods comes down that i will celebrate or be happy.

I ask for a bag of fertilizer today and its 37k, how can we the poor masses afford such at this moment when we are almost dieing of hunger? A bottle of herbicide is 5500 as we speak, that means many of us who depend on farming will not be able to farm this year and this means more hunger next year.

Life as a jobless Nigerian is worse than hell, the future is not looking too good my brother. Many of us can not explain how we manage to be alive till now

You guys are predictable seriously and the president knows you his supporters have weak brains

The strategy is simple, make the situation so bad, then do some stuffs and make it look like you working

It's not even 1k yet, even when it was 600 under buhari, there was still little being felt

Many of you add nothing positive to the economy rather than buying data to gist away your future and few ones working with government are just doing lazy work upandan

You think any business man wants the economy down, we can't even sell cars again cos an food everybody dey buy, you think I'm happy that money no dey enter like before?

Oil production is increasing
Electricity production is on the right track
Food production is severely hampered by bandits but efforts are being made to deal with that

What concrete steps can be taken in the immediate term to increase production that this Government is failing to take?

Tinubu FX policy is wack.

So far it continues to fluctuate, it'll always give room for speculators to thrive.

Dollar was #1680+ few days ago.

It fell to #1600+

This morning it was #1520 and just now it's #1530.

Immediately I saw the dollar was down to #1520, I bought $350 dollar on *******.

It's now #1530.

I am selling once top #100 per dollar.

35k profit.

Now imagine how much those who are speculating with up to $1 million makes daily.

That's 100 million Naira for each trip.

The only way the government can stop us from speculating is by stopping those fluctuations.

But occasionally pumping in dollars into the market to push the rate down will only favour FX traders.

For those that will wail under this comment, FX trading is not illegal. It's perfectly a legal means to make money.

Which electricity production is on the right track? For the past week I have never experienced over 3 hours electricity at a go, especially during the day, here in Lagos.

If not for solar, I wonder how I'll survive in this Tinubu economy.

Personally, I want the rate to keep going up. I don't care. But as a good Nigerian, the only way to fix this FX madness is to peg the exchange rate.

Once Tinubu does that, speculators and traders will vanish or at least limit their activities.

Do you know there are people who believes that the FG is benefiting from this exchange rate fluctuations?

A sitting senator even said that.

I don't understand why dollar will fall to $1500+ and in less than 24 hours will start rising until it hits #1,700+.

And then started falling again.

And when it hits $1500+, it'll start rising again.

Are these kind of production what that have been jacking the exchange? Why is Dangote not selling petrol in Naira, what about utility import, drugs and other raw materials needed to produce finished goods are we producing them yet, with every measure Tinubu takes, he kills another industry. It is still a balance and that’s the problem

I will need a day atleast to explain this simple question so i will pass.

To summarize it for you, people like us are the reason why you are alive and typing at this moment because without our efforts put in farming, you may not see food to eat despite a dollar been sold at 5naira.

All i'm saying is for the governmet to stop chasing the dollar and make goods available at cheap price to the masses and every problem will settle on it own. I know of many people that will farm 10lines of cassava if the price of fertilizer and other things did not come down and you what that means.
